Great location if there for the weekend part vibe. The caravan is on top of a 5 storey building with amazing views. If looking for a quiet stay, this is not for you.

Location was great -only 5 mins walk from the car park and easy to find once I’d found the right side street - in the centre and near restaurants and the theatre (the reason we visiited).

Layout is a little quirky - including a special key for the courtyard at night - but I liked it for that.

I did struggle the temperature, but it was a heat wave. My room overlooked the bars behind the building. The windows blocked out the noise and the fan kept me “cool”.

Decor was interesting - the wardrobe is pegs on the wall - and the room was a little cosy (I was solo in this room - so it was fine for me and I booked a king size room for my friends). The bathroom was showing its age (cracked sink and cracked floor tiles) but everything worked and was clean.

For the price and the location - I’d stay here again!!

Had a great time, staff were very friendly and helpful, breakfast was good. Novelty value of staying in the caravan on the roof was tremendous, never forget that - however - ours could’ve done with a bit of maintenance here & there, it is a caravan after all. Nothing much, seat covers were a bit shabby, few screws missing/undone here and there and the skylights could do with fixing/replacing, they were hanging a bit and one was held in with gaffer tape and dripping. Other’n that …. All good

A great central location with very helpful and welcoming staff on reception. The rooms were great and the B&B had a great feel to it. The courtyard was great in the early evening.
My only comment would be they need to update parking info on website. We had to pay for a full 48 and the web said a discount would apply. Website hadn't been updated since a buy out was explained.

My ground floor room had a marble wet room with ample toiletries - also a huge bed with a variety of pillows and there's a good sized television. Tea and coffee making facilities were well stocked including Yorkshire Tea. Decor was great. Hotel is perfectly located; the Beacon is a short walk away, restaurants just round the corner and St Nicholas Market is a few steps away. Yes, there's a lift to access those caravans on the roof.

Cosy, clean and quiet. Spent a lovely night at Brooks' with a small fountain gently bubbling outside my window, in a well-kept and extremely comfortable room. The bathroom was clean and tidy too. Super-central.

I didn't have breakfast but it looked great when I walked through as I left.

All the pictures give a good indication of the guesthouse, and the staff were really chilled and helpful. Great friendly service, and they wanted to make sure that everything was as it should be.

Heading back again for work this coming week, and looking forward to it.

Good central location but also noisy (people and extraction fans from nearby establishments), Windows effective at keeping noise out but left room stuffy.

Cleaning could be stepped up. Shower head limescale / calcium build up. Dusty window shutters and lamps.

Bathroom with small sink made it difficult to use without getting water on floor.

Too many friction points to make this stay enjoyable. Would not recommend or return to.

Nice room. But it was so noisy. Situated above a club and the when the DJ stops theres multiple bin trucks and delivery vans from early early morning. The double glazing helps (although we were there during the bank holiday heatwave so couldn't leave the windows closed all night) but even with what the windows block out there are still multiple fans and air systems within the hotel going off throughout the night. Overall comfortable room but wouldnt stay again due to noise.

Great location for exploring Bristol and if you’re planning day trips, as the bus station and train station are easily walkable. Staff were very friendly, though I did have to ask for something a couple of days in a row. The breakfast area looks very inviting. My room was a fair size but a little on the scruffy side - possibly due to damp, as the extractor fan isn’t great and the windows don’t open much, so lots of condensation. WiFi was terrible, ending up using all my data - as the connection constantly dropped out. Bed was comfy but I’d recommend a pair of ear plugs for the thin walls. Overall a positive stay and I would stay again despite these issues.

Unfortunately we had two issues at this hotel.

Firstly we had room 11 which had a strong smell similar to cat wee. We were then given room 18, which seemed fine until we opened the door to the en-suite and the same smell was strong in there. This smell was only in the rooms not any public areas.

Secondly there was music blasting loudly from venue adjacent to the hotel along with noise from people using that venues outside area. This continued until the music stopped at 2am, and the venue cleared of customers around 2.40am, so no sleep.

We would not stay at this hotel again.

The rooms were small, clean, with tea/coffee facilities.

Rest of hotel was nice and clean.

Hotel is situated in a busy and bustling area of the city centre. Close to lots of places to visit within walking distance. Lots of bars and restaurants to choose from.

We would not stay at this hotel again.

The guest house is great, the room is great, the location is great... but the bed is awful. The mattress was mega soft and worn, which made it impossible for two people to sleep properly as we both rolled in towards the middle. Terrible night's sleep. We were in room 10 - maybe the beds in others are better, and if they are, we would come back as everything else was lovely. But as it stands, paying to not sleep isn't great.

We stayed two nights and were advised to show our ticket on check out. We used the car to travel around on our first full days stay. As such, we were only able to claim the discount for one night. Had we been advised to show the ticket daily we would have received the car park discount for both nights.

On the negative side our accomodation was a caravan situated on the roof of the hotel which was ok except that we found access difficult because the door was elevated above the roof and the steps up to it weren't high enough especially for a person with disabilities to get in easily. Also there was a pub next door that played loud music into the early hours.

The shower stall was amazing! Plenty of room, easy to use. The mattresses were okay somewhat better than typical 3 star loggings . The district where the property is located is very noisy at night due to clubs and pubs nearby. I stayed Friday and Saturday night and drunks were making noise till 4:00 am. The loggings are next to a pub and you can hear the noise of loud music in the dining area. Location is good for Bristol hospitals about a 10-15 minute walk away. Front desk staff is relatively friendly though not overly helpful or customer-focused though some were better than others. Lots of restaurants nearby.

Hidden Gem for a Solo Trip

My first solo night stay and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience here!

All the staff were lovely and made me feel very welcome. I booked this place on the day of travel at a very reasonable price, and they were still accommodating enough to give me a later check out time with no extra charge.

The guy on the night shift was an absolute legend and chatted to me for a while when I got back from a night out, he immediately made me feel at ease. Please pass on a good word for him from me!

No complaints with the room itself either. It was a decent size and very clean despite having mixed reviews. Comfortable/soft bed, plenty of storage and a full length mirror.

The location is right in the heart of the bars, restaurants and shops, but secluded enough to provide privacy. I was out for majority of the night so I can’t comment on the noise, but the courtyard seems to separate the street from the place very well to drown some of this out. I felt very safe with separate keys for the gate, the reception and my room.

If I wanted to be nitpicky, the shower pressure wasn’t amazing and there was no hand soap in the room, but this wasn’t an issue as I’d brought my own. The room was very warm and they provide a small fan for this. I can imagine on the hotter days this would be uncomfortable as there is limited airflow.

My stay at Brooks really surprised me, I feel like this is a hidden gem. It was exactly what I needed and I wouldn’t hesitate to book again.

Ask yourself

This hotel was a great price for the convenience of the location, I was able to walk to both venues for the concerts I attended, and great food is a stone's throw away. The question you have to ask yourself is how often are you going to be in your room? It's pretty loud until about 3am, so I'd say it's a better place if you're in Bristol to party. Also, there is a overwhelming stench of sewage that comes from the shower at times, the longest stint being for about 12 or so hours on my stay. So again, ask yourself how often you're actually going to be in your room.
